Brilliance

Karl Rove has left George Bush hanging with his trousis down. Mr. Rove operated as if winning was the only thing and damn the torpedos. We all now have to live with the torpedos, the work of a powerful man with no ethical compass. Some say he had a brillant mind. Perhaps. A brilliant understanding of how to manipulate the masses, especially the right-wing Christians, but deeply tarnished by a failure to understand that life is more than “us” against “them.” Gone from the White House may be a great intelligence, but one that didn’t show much evidence of wisdom. Let us all hope he learned a bit from his time “in office.”
